We have a limited number of copies of both red and yellow Ogre Designer's Edition games available at this time and we're offering these only to Kickstarter backers (you will need to enter your email address to complete an order). If you order one of these then you will randomly receive either a red or a yellow set, but if you receive a red set we will include a Pocket Ogre game with your order.

Only 30 copies are available at this time. We might have more copies at a later date, but today we're only offering a small number (we need room in the warehouse!). Available here!

In addition to the games we also have a handful of Ogre Blueprint Banners for those of you who want a giant wall decoration. And if you would like an additional base tray for your collection those are now in stock.

Scenario Contest Update

This is not yet ready to officially launch, but I've seen that Daniel and Steve are discussing the upcoming Ogre scenario contest (one of the stretch goals) and we hope to have an official announcement soonish. Start your creativity engines! We're looking forward to your entries.

Ogre Launch Events

Over the Ogre Designer's Edition launch weekend, our valiant MiBs ran some launch events on our behalf! They set up in local game stores, played a bunch of Ogre, and had a great time! Thanks to our MiBs for helping make this happen. Here are some pics!

Maybe I missed it but of curiosity, since we are talking about scenarios, I know one of the funding levels discusses a PDF copy of "Ogre Scenario Book One." I already received a PDF of the book entitled "Scenarios" (the same Scenarios book included in the base game) and was wondering:

Is "Scenarios" what was included in the Kickstarter

or

Are we awaiting an additional PDF book that we may or may not get included with our pledge? (and will it be similar to the 2001 PDF "Ogre Scenario Book 1" currently in e23?)

Darn it -- I must have thrown my original away with the packaging. I didn't see it and figured, "Oh well, I got a lot of goodness anyway." I actually have the original anyway (Metagaming), so this was totally an extra. This will teach me to look through the packaging more thoroughly.

When you open a Gold carton sitting vertically with the text legible from the top, there should be a thin strip of cardboard to prevent the Pocket Ogre from getting damaged when the packing tape is cut open. The strip and Pocket Ogre sit on top and outside of the shrink wrapped game itself. - Brandon

What's the difference between the red and yellow sets? Only Pocket Ogre inclusion? Is Pocket Ogre inside or outside of the shrink-wrap?

(P.S. Thanks for the head's up a few updates ago, Phil! I appreciate you responding to me. I did, indeed open the wrong box, and couldn't find my Pocket Ogre. Now that I've opened one, and found how BIG it is, I won't be playing double-sized games anytime soon, so I'll keep my second copy packed to survive storage/moves/etc).

I received two red copies and one yellow copy of the Designer's Edition. I have so far opened only one of the red copies. I do not recall seeing a copy of Pocket Ogre in the two cartons of add-on items I have also received. Should I have received the two copies of Pocket Ogre in one of the five cartons I have received so far?

Still salivating at the hope for a wooden Ogre....but it probably have to wait until after Christmas now.....two large orders from SJG and a bunch of other things....that did I really need....(Yes yes I did :O) )

Any chance those will come into production after the first of the year?
